We’re proud to recognize three of the five teachers who had a student selected to attend the 2026 Washington Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. through our short story contest!

Congratulations to Mark Yoder from Brighton High School, Carol Ann Williams from Chester County High School, and Felicia Hopper from Munford High School on each receiving a $250 classroom grant.

The Washington Youth Tour would not be possible without the support and encouragement of teachers who promote this program and inspire students to participate each year. We appreciate these educators for the important role they play in helping make this program a success and investing in the next generation of leaders!

We had a great time hosting our Live Line Trailer demonstration for local first responders! ⚡️

This hands-on training gave them a close-up look at real-life electrical hazards—like what happens when a vehicle comes into contact with a live line, when a ladder touches an energized line, and even how something as small as a squirrel can cause big problems in power infrastructure.

As we recognize Electrical Safety Month this May, we’re proud to partner with those who help keep our communities safe every day. Training like this makes a difference when it matters most.

Thank you to all who participated!
